Tru Wilson out?
September 5th, 2019 at 4:37 PM ^
Links to VIP articles don't help the majority, just sayin.
September 5th, 2019 at 4:41 PM ^
Sorry, I couldn't find another source to cite for the information.
September 5th, 2019 at 4:44 PM ^
So summarize the story, maybe paste a relevant paragraph or statement... This was useless.
Here's some news: Charbonnet out! (Just as relevant as what you posted...)
September 5th, 2019 at 4:52 PM ^
Pls don't joke about Zach being out. RB hating gods already hate us...
September 5th, 2019 at 5:54 PM ^
Agreed - poor use of example!!
September 5th, 2019 at 6:11 PM ^
JK Dobbins Out?
September 5th, 2019 at 7:32 PM ^
For the year
September 5th, 2019 at 7:38 PM ^
You spelled Justin Fields wrong
September 5th, 2019 at 8:20 PM ^
I'm all for lambasting poorly worded OP's, but if you simply look at the link to the article it basically gives you the one sentence you need.
Tru Wilson expected to miss the Army Game due to injury.
September 5th, 2019 at 6:18 PM ^
The Dogs out?
September 5th, 2019 at 6:31 PM ^
Who let the dogs out???
September 5th, 2019 at 7:51 PM ^
Who? Who? Who?WHO ?
September 5th, 2019 at 4:38 PM ^
Shame. But I’d rather see him healthy and rested to play against Wisconsin. That’s gonna be a physical game and we’ll need Wilson’s pass protection skills and change of pace to Charbonnet and Turner
September 5th, 2019 at 4:43 PM ^
I say this with all due respect to Tru because he's a dog...but you don't really benefit from a change of pace when that pace is "slower". Charbonnet can clearly pass pro at a high level for a freshman, maybe without any qualifiers. As athletes, Charbonnet and Turner are clearly superior to Tru, and so is BVS.
Now, Tru is a warrior, and has pretty good instincts with the ball in his hands, but my take from week one is that Charbonnet and Turner is pretty much all we need at RB. Wilson would be nice just give the main two a rest, but without his pass pro being clearly superior to everyone, Wilson is kind of a 3rd-string-at-best luxury nowadays.
September 5th, 2019 at 4:48 PM ^
Yep... Tru has given Michigan everything he has, and for a couple of years it was needed and worthy. Now? Not sure he has enough to give athletically. No disrespect to him, he's still capable of providing when its needed. But Charbonnet and Turner have pushed him to the back of the line.
September 5th, 2019 at 5:49 PM ^
Just like that, one game and you're writing him off?
September 5th, 2019 at 5:57 PM ^
Well, "writing him off" is a bit strong. But otherwise, yes. I said on Sunday morning, and since then as well, that his days at the top of the RB depth chart are gone. He has the talent, drive, and heart to play as well as any of them. What he lacks is simply the athleticism. That can't be taught, and both Charbonnet and Turner have a lot more than he has.
He will provide some good plays, but he will clearly be RB3...
September 5th, 2019 at 6:44 PM ^
I agree with both of you. Tru has the heart of a lions but Michigan isn’t going to compete for a title with walk-ons and converted FBs playing other positions. If that was the case then EMU would be just as good as UM.
September 5th, 2019 at 4:52 PM ^
Still need Charbonnet and Turner to be fresh come November. So Tru Wilson still holds plenty of value. If and when we blow teams out we don’t want either of these guys running the ball. A reliable guy like Tru who can run behind a line that is over powering a tired d line in the fourth quarter is imperative to Charbonnet’s late season success
September 5th, 2019 at 5:30 PM ^
I agree. Wilson's value now is eating 5 carries a game so that Charbonnet and Turner can take 25 instead of 30.
September 5th, 2019 at 5:01 PM ^
He's still clearly better than BVS and Haskins though, and you really need 3 backs to keep the wear and tear off your other guys. His ability to pass pro is still pretty valuable to take some workload off the main guys on obvious passing downs.
September 5th, 2019 at 6:48 PM ^
Bring Mason back to the offense. Putting him at DL is ridiculous especially considering a FB is still needed at times.
September 5th, 2019 at 7:11 PM ^
Ridiculous? He was sure needed at DT Saturday.
September 5th, 2019 at 7:41 PM ^
You call it ridiculous, but he was obviously needed so much so that he STARTED at DT... pointing to him being our 4th best DT right now. That’s pretty important
September 5th, 2019 at 10:44 PM ^
He’s like 270 now and played FB at 240, so no
September 5th, 2019 at 5:46 PM ^
Let me introduce you to a curveball or change-up
September 5th, 2019 at 4:54 PM ^
A slow change of pace? Ben Mason should be able to fill that role...
September 5th, 2019 at 4:38 PM ^
Bummer for tru, but hopefully Charbonnet gets at least 15 carries.
September 5th, 2019 at 4:39 PM ^
Did Jemele Hill confirm this? That's the only source I'll acknowledge.
September 5th, 2019 at 4:44 PM ^
Don't make me angry, you won't like me when I'm angry.
Grrrr I hate that woman.
September 5th, 2019 at 6:54 PM ^

My favorite was when the spartoons lost (with dignity, I assume) at the last minute to Nebraska and she started dropping F bombs on Twitter. No repercussions at ESPN.
I believe she also advocated for someone to assassinate the president, and also faced no repercussions from that.
Truly an an angry, awful person. The perfect spartoon.
September 5th, 2019 at 7:16 PM ^
Is she still working in TV? I haven’t seen her since the Sportscenter deal went south and MSU starting losing to UM again. Maybe she’s on EL public access?
September 5th, 2019 at 8:30 PM ^
She got canned from ESPN and now writes for The Atlantic, and apparently, also for the Athletic. Maybe she's free-lancing, and they pick up her stuff?
September 6th, 2019 at 2:26 AM ^
Disappointing, I had heard good things about those papers.
September 5th, 2019 at 4:41 PM ^
Is that a question?
September 5th, 2019 at 4:42 PM ^
You can do better than this OP. Is he out or not? Your post ends in a question mark, so it remains unclear. If you are going to link to a paywalled article, at least a one sentence summary would be helpful.
September 5th, 2019 at 4:44 PM ^
He's out. 2-3 weeks supposedly.
September 5th, 2019 at 4:56 PM ^
Article - meh
OP post - needs to improve
Tru - get better, whatever ill you are suffering...we need you!
September 5th, 2019 at 4:44 PM ^
Hope he's back asap, kid is tough as old boots
September 5th, 2019 at 5:18 PM ^
His injury was mentioned on the WTKA roundtable today, but they didn't specifically mention him missing any additional time or not. The team likely won't need him vs Army's defense, then you've got a bye week before we're on the road to UW, so if he has to miss a couple weeks there are worse times to do it.
I think Zach looked great in pass pro, but keep in mind that was against an undersized, if blitz-happy, MTSU defense. I assume he can keep it up at a similar pace as he looked very natural at it, but we may be glad to have a healthy Tru as we run into some tougher defenses, if Zach/Christian are having an off day or seeing some new/confusing things from a pass rush.
Get better soon, Tru.
September 5th, 2019 at 9:03 PM ^
Zach was stonewalling those undersized blitzers and Tru got pancaked against the same dudes. We want Zach to block the bigger tougher defenses too assuming this wasn't some one game fluke. Tru is still valuable but his value is limited to our 3rd depth RB. A healthy Zach and Turner will largely be in part to Tru getting his playing time. If Zach is resting on a passing down we can all agree we want Tru in there.
September 5th, 2019 at 6:10 PM ^
Not worried, Turner and Charbonnet are both studs
September 5th, 2019 at 6:25 PM ^
Please don't be Tru!
September 5th, 2019 at 7:16 PM ^
Out for about a month....hand/wrist injury.
September 5th, 2019 at 8:41 PM ^
Jesus...feels like we will never catch a break...
September 5th, 2019 at 10:49 PM ^
I think the team can sustain this injury. Bad break for Tru though.
September 5th, 2019 at 8:00 PM ^
In other news, Chase Young sitting out the rest of the year (ie Joey Bosa) to get ready for the NFL
September 5th, 2019 at 9:55 PM ^
To me, this sucks as Tru is a great team guy who can pass pro like no other. Get healthy and return ASAP !
